To the point: not only is it the best, most accomplished and/or most well-rounded film by Jonás Trueba, but 'You will return' It is also, possibly, the most accessible to the general public.
'You will return' It reminds us of the best of Woody Allen, who is able to talk about life, love and art with a deep and warm insight that is as light and fun as it is enriching and ultimately comforting. Films that encourage one to be a filmmaker because, seen and experienced like this, they seem as easy to make as it is to go away for the weekend leaving behind the worries of modern life; all you need is a script, a camera, some friends and a little time.
'You will return' It is, precisely, a reflection on artistic creation built from a story of heartbreak and the firm belief that a film is the fruit of a cooperative. And it is, of course, a team effort, as the credits of any film clearly demonstrate. Or as Jonás Trueba himself tries to demonstrate with each of his films, whether with or without the always natural and credible Itsaso Arana and Vito Sanz keeping him company. Broadly speaking, “it is a serious drama, but with good humour” that is “about all of that”. 'You will return' It is based on the natural, everyday and of course summery and Madrid-style rethinking of an anti-romantic comedy based on repetition to create a successful metafilmic manifesto on the importance of creative free will, not just cinematic free will. A bucolic, reflective deconstruction that, far from how it sounds, is close, fresh and above all affable. And that, even so, does not leave aside human relationships, which it does not just excuse. Because life, like art, is nourished by the experiences, conversations and relationships of everyday life. Thus, in addition to a notable metalinguistic exercise, 'You will return' It is also a no less remarkable exploration of our daily evolution as people, and how this is marked by our vital and creative concerns and our social agenda.
